Not sure if the D80 can use the same remote as the D70s, but I've got a genuine nikon remote the ML-L3. The cheap wireless infrared remote that only has one button. And in bulb mode the shutter will stay open as long as you want it to. Just press it once and it opens, and the next time you press the remote button it will close.

when i set the shutter speed to bulb "bulb" appears where the shutter speed should be on the LCD dial. if i change the shooting mode to remote (using the same remote you describe) the shutter speed flashes "-- --" and wont let me use the remote. VERY ANNOYING!!

That is exactly what my Nikon D70s and ML-L3 remote do, except it works. According to the manual, the "--" is what you are SUPPOSED to see. And it should do exactly as achuang describes

I also don't see why this wouldn't work for you as it is just ONE signal that the remote supplies. The camera takes that signal and opens the shutter, and takes the signal again and closes it. Besides, that ML-L3 is one great little tool, but even full price here, I got it for $13
